Taught by Senior Instructor Michael Vasquez. Bio:

Michael Vasquez, lineage instructor, has been a practitioner of the Internal Healing Arts since the age of 16. He began his formal training with the Martial practices at the Kido Institute, Santa Fe, NM, where his training & teaching included classes in: Ji Do Kwan, Tai Chi, Yoga, Chi Gung, Soft Style Kung Fu. The natural development of the practice moved from “external” to “internal”, from martial to healing & health.

As the Instructor & Outreach- Director for the Internal Arts Institute / Taoist Studies Society, located in Santa Fe & San Francisco, he then taught the practices of Taoist Yoga, Tai Chi/Chi Gung, Hshing-I (5 elements) & Chi Gung, at the IAI while continuing his training with the T.S.S. On-going teaching/training led to a more formal relationship with Master Zhou Rhong Qin Tsai, and the Internal Lineage Tradition was brought to America from Taiwan .The focus of the training encompassed wholeness, rehabilitation & "returning to the state of the child" using the traditional methods of Hshing-I, Tai Chi & Ba Gua.

“In the spirit of ‘those who came before me’, we offer any & all of what has been passed as it is appropriate, to those who have the sincere interest. “It is my belief that the Health & Harmonious aspects of the practices are needed to balance the conflicting, competitive and dominate approaches, in these times, with respect to all things connected.”
